fine subject for the honour done my dear child.

Why, good Mr. Andrews, said my master, should you say so?--I know that
story, and Mr. Williams will confirm what I say, that my good girl here
will confer at least as much honour as she will receive.

Sir, said I, you are inexpressibly generous; but I shall never think so.
Why, my Pamela, said he, that's another thing: It will be best for me to
think you will; and it will be kind in you to think you shan't; and then
we shall always have an excellent rule to regulate our conduct by to one
another.

Was not this finely, nobly, wisely said, my dear mother?--O what a
blessed thing it is to be matched to a man of sense and generosity!--How
edifying! How!--But what shall I say?--I am at loss for words.

Mr. Williams said, when we came out of the little chapel, He would go
home, and look over his discourses, for one for the next day. My master
said, I have one thing to say before you go--When my jealousy, on
account of this good girl, put me upon such a vindictive conduct to you,
you know I took a bond for the money I had caused you to be troubled
for: I really am ashamed of the matter; because I never intended, when
I presented it to you, to have it again, you may be sure: But I knew not
what might happen between you and her, nor how far matters might have
gone between you; and so I was willing to have that in awe over you. And
I think it is no extraordinary present, therefore, to give you up your
bond again cancelled. And so he took it from his pocket, and gave it
him. I think, added he, all the charges attending it, and the trouble
you had, were defrayed by my attorney; I ordered that they should. They
were, sir, said he; and ten thousand thanks to you for this goodness,
and the kind manner in which you do it.--If you will go, Mr. Williams,
said he, shall my chariot carry you home? No, sir, answered he, I thank
you. My time will be so well employed all the way, in thinking of your
favours, that I choose to meditate upon them, as I walk home.

My dear father was a little uneasy about his habit, for appearing at
chapel next day, because of Misses Darnford and the servants, for fear,
poor man, he should disgrace my master; and he told me, when he was
mentioning this, of my master's kind present of twenty guineas for
clothes, for you both; which made my heart truly joyful. But oh! to be
sure, I can never deserve the hundredth part of his goodness!--It is
almost a hard thing
